East Mississippi Community College (EMCC), formerly East Mississippi Junior College, is a public community college in Scooba, Mississippi. EMCC serves and is supported by Clay, Kemper, Lauderdale, Lowndes, Noxubee and Oktibbeha counties in east central Mississippi. The college has two principal campuses in Scooba and Mayhew, Mississippi and offers courses at five other locations. One of fifteen community colleges in Mississippi, EMCC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award the Associate of Applied Science degree and the Associate of Arts degree.
At just $3,880 per year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $5,790, this is one of the most affordable community college options you'll find — a smart starting point for students looking to earn credits or complete a two-year program without financial risk. The concern worth naming is that median earnings sit at $30,100 ten years out, which reflects the reality that many students transfer or enter fields with modest starting pay, so your outcome will depend heavily on what you do after EMCC. Worth considering if you want a low-cost, low-debt path toward a four-year transfer or a career-focused credential in east central Mississippi.
